Twilight Rider's Tale

Scars tell tales, each notch on my belt Living outside the law, playing the hand I'm dealt The horizon's wide, open and far Whiskey on my breath, eyes on the North Star A bandit's life, with each bullet I dodge I'm tied to the saddle, an outlaw montage My boots are worn, from the paths I've roamed The wanted posters show a face long gone That shadow on my trail, it grows so long I'm a ghost of the west, where I don’t belong I've been ridin', dust in my eyes Burned by the desert sun's rise Lost count of the warrants behind Ain't no straight path for this life I find Been thinkin' of folks I done wrong Hearin' that old judge's gavel song But the trail I blaze, it's mine alone Hat pulled down low, face to the storm Each star above is a tale I've spun For every sin, I've had my run [Chorus] I ride through the twilight, law on my heels Chasing the freedom that my heart steals
